Here's my discworld folder for music sheets. À la - what I did during my summer singing camp at the and of August. But hey it did wake up my artistic soul, even though not the type it was arming at xD.

In Night Watch, Sandra Battye the needlewoman makes more money that Miss Palm because she’s the only real ‘Seamstress’ in the entire city; men aren’t taught to sew, so single men who previously relied on mothers or wives have no choice but to go to her. 

By the present day, Reg Shoe the zombie stitches himself up every time he gets injured. If few men in Ankh-Morpork know how to sew, then where did Reg learn? From Sandra! 

I don’t think Reg knew Sandra as a revolutionary; Sandra smuggled weapons, while Reg didn’t even know about the real meetings. But he’d know Sandra as the needlewoman. 

I imagine that when Reg woke up and realized that he wasn’t dead, he panicked and went to Sandra. Sandra at this point had some experience stitching up wounds; I see Dr. Lawn enlisting her to sew people up. I can see that Sandra would do it for free out of respect for how he died on the barricade, but he keeps coming back. Eventually, he loses his arm and asks her to put it back, so she gets annoyed and teaches him to do it himself (after putting the arm back, of course). 

I can also see that Reg winds up working as her assistant before he joins the Watch. He needs to practice, so why not practice by mending trousers and shirts before working on limbs? He might even go work for Dr. Lawn. 

Reg in the present can now sew his own wounds, but sometimes he loses both of his arms, so he goes to Sandra to get one stitched.

Sandra B. used MUSHROOM! It's super effective!

The Princess Maker sprites are so hard to make consistent and so big, so I decided to use a different style. I'm still not sure if flapper Rosie/Sandra necessarily fits in Night-Watch era Ankh Morpork (or any Ankh-Morpork at all) but it looks good, so I'm going with it. Seamstresses and needlewomen. Needlewomen and seamstresses.

Hello! I’m back with more Discworld!

I’m currently re-reading Night Watch, which is proooobably my favourite Discworld book, and once again I’m reminded how much I love the Semstresses’ Resistance of Treacle Mine Road. Badass ladies, every single one of them. I wish we saw more of them in the other books.

I regret every single decision that drove me to drawing lilac flowers by hand.

“‘I might be wrong,’ said Glenda, ‘but if you don’t want to know what the things are that you don’t want to know, then that means that there are going to be even more things that you don’t want to know and I imagine that sooner or later, if that goes on, your head will cave in around the hole.’” –Unseen Academicals.

A newly sober Sam Vimes deals with the troubles of remembering.

uGH

I tried to do Sandra's idle animation but I don't quite like this (doesn't look like crocheting if her arms don't move)

but I changed the whole thing like five times in the past hour, I deserve a break

I was today years old when I realised that Sandra Battye in Night Watch specialises in crochet and therefore might call herself a hooker.

Hooker is also a slang term for... 'seamstress' in the UK.

The puns in these books >.<
